With Our Questions We Make The World

With our questions we make the world. Questions open our minds, our eyes, and our hearts. With our questions we learn, connect, and create.

I have a vision of workplaces and a society—of individuals, families, organizations, and communities—that are vibrant with the spirit of inquiry and possibility.

Pay, Force or Persuade ?

There are times when we seek to get other people to do something we want or need them to do. We can pay them to do so: that is economics. We can force them to do so: that is politics.

Find People Who Are What You Want To Be

July 1, 2020June 29, 2020 / onetusk / Leave a comment

“Changing careers is not merely a matter of changing the work we do. It is as much about changing the relationships that matter in our professional lives. Shifting connections refers to the practice of finding people who can help us see and grow into our new selves, people we admire, would like to emulate, and with whom we want to spend time.

Leadership and Moral Rejuvenation of a Society

June 10, 2020June 10, 2020 / onetusk / Leave a comment

Man is essentially an imitating animal. This is a psychological truth. Students can be disciplined only when teachers are well behaved. The minor officials of a country cannot be kind and honest when the rulers are corrupt tyrants. Children’s behaviour depends entirely upon , and is ever controlled by , the standard of purity and culture set by their parents . The moral rejuvenation of a society in any period of history can take place only because of the example set by the leaders of that nation.
